Chapter 69: Journey to the Underground (7)



The loser chose to pass on the pain to make up for the loss, while the winner didn't care much about the victory at all, except for collecting a small amount of materials afterwards to supplement himself, the rest was more after-dinner conversation.

However, some people's gains are obviously not so clear in a few words, such as the commanders at all levels led by Seken, although the confrontation was short, but it was also a battle that was completely presided over by themselves in history, and there are still a lot of things that can be summed up.

In addition, the addition of new weapons makes it easy for this team's combat method to embark on the road of gun flow, using medium and long-range weapons in their hands to effectively kill and weaken the enemy before they approach, which has become the main direction of discussion and research. After all, there are no particularly strong melee characters in the team, even the most powerful Seken is only a third-order peak strength, and the fire guard is a little unreliable for melee defense, even if the fire dwarf led by Ati can control the fire guard and not attack his own people, but the Great Flame Burst and Fire Shock are both attack types with a relatively strong range, and once they go crazy, it is difficult not to be affected.

As time went by, Luo Ling's restrictions on the slaves became less and less, as long as his trip was not delayed, as long as the general direction was right, the other slaves would do it themselves.

The team spent a total of seven days in Mutland, and in the days following the confrontation with the gray dwarves, Luo Ling used the Star Crystal to create a large number of respiratory bacteria. At the same time, the film device was also put into production, and the core of the instrument was the magic array program group, but the makers didn't need to understand, they only needed to make the magic array that Luo Ling gave them that they had never seen before into a seal and mark it with its function. There are no less than thirty such seals in the hands of the dwarves. Reference books have been created to record them.

It is worth mentioning that the respirator did not become a 'pig's mouth' according to Luo Ling's original thinking, because the Demon Batman intervened in this matter. Even the big and the small, there are more than 200 demon batmen who have become Luo Lingxin's slaves. They were members of the Bloodbat Controllers who attacked Mutlan with Kamshe, and the news that the Abyssal Giants' dwelling had been breached by Camshee was leaked because the mouths of the Orcs who had destroyed the Depths were not perfect, so that these Bat Men realized their danger and turned to the Burning Army, which became famous in the First World War.

In addition to raising various bats with religious enthusiasm, the Demon Batmen are the fourth best in the dark region after the dark elves, dwarves, and gray dwarves in their knowledge of weapons and tools. Some of the knick-kacks they make are often equipped by travelers in the Dark Regions. Among them, there are breathing masks. This breathing mask is very elaborate, assembled from goggles and a packet of alchemical substance. It uses an alchemical qi source, which is somewhat like an energy knot, a variant of the energy condensation of the qi element.

Its appearance made the respirator manufactured by Luo Ling finally finalized and became a goggle-type, left-right split respirator. It looks like a dust mask with a cap-like filter on the left and right, not the one with canned bottles on the front. This respirator uses a dual air supply system, with an air-producing block made by respiratory bacteria on one side and an air-energy node on the other. All of them are replaceable, energy nodes are standby, and gas producing blocks are the mainstay.

In addition to the Demon Batmen, there is another team that has joined Luo Ling's slave sequence, that is, more than 200 Deep Shadow Orcs led by Kurun. After sacking the stronghold of the Shadow Giants, Kurun and several of his subordinates, who had escaped from Camsei's siege operation, returned to the tribe, and were ostracized by his fellow tribesmen, and in the form of expulsion and exile, he and his close people were driven out of their place of residence. As a result, he was taken in by Luo Ling, and because of his outstanding combat ability, Kurunn was appointed by Luo Ling's follower leader Orc Zakan as his deputy.

At this point, the total number of the Burning Army, including the rough slaves captured in peacetime, exceeded the 3,000 mark, and in terms of numbers, it was already able to stand tall in the dark region, and it was a series of its own.

The Burning Army was the first to spread among the besieging sides because of the characteristics it showed in the battle with the Gray Dwarves, and Seken and others thought it was good, and Luo Ling thought it was okay, so it was decided.

After merging the Demon Batman and the Deep Shadow Orc, the completion of the regional map has been greatly improved, and the three main bats raised by the Demon Batman are hunting bats, guard bats and battle bats, the Lancet Bat is a special breed that has not formed a scale, and after Luo Ling saw it, the guard bats that resemble flying foxes and are slightly more damaging than ferocious bats have also been kicked out of the main breeding series, leaving only hunting bats and battle bats.

Hunting bats are equivalent to flying hounds, and one or two devil bats with twenty or thirty hunting bats tied to camera crystals go to follow the pathfinder team led by Gregory, which can improve the efficiency of the pathfinder team a lot, and the hunting bats are used for early warning, which is also first-class.

The Battle Bat is a riding bat, similar to Luo Ling's 'big wings'. In fact, the giant bats in the Nisar Half-Blood Air Cavalry were first introduced from the Man-Demon Batmen. The battle bat is so huge that an ordinary person sits on his back as if it were sitting on the back of a buffalo, and even more exaggerated if you count the wings. Keep this kind of bat, for high-altitude combat, after all, the highest floating bicycle is always 5 meters high with the ground, it is a corresponding position type, just like a magnet with the same pole repulsion, it is not easy to stick it, it is not good to be far away, I think the power is not enough.

This battle bat doesn't need to raise too much, twenty or thirty, omnivores, it's not a burden.

On this day, after Luo Ling asked about the situation below, he ordered the camp to be pulled out and the team set off. By this time, the number of armored boats had increased from the original 50 to 80, and more than a dozen taels were empty and reserved for the Qin people.

The fixed facilities built by Mutland were basically not moved, but the rock and iron crystal nuclei in the key parts were taken. After the crystal nucleus was removed, the building lost the 'vitality' unique to the crystal civilization, and gradually degenerated into a granite structure.

Soon after the Burning Army left, an underground gnome who came to make some trades found that Mutran was empty, and liked the complete defense system and various facilities here, so they brought the immigrants over, took the nearby living cave for themselves, and planted plants in the farmland that had been reclaimed before the army, so that Mutran was revitalized, and later became an important trading city in the region, connecting the shallow and dark layers.

With a week of map exploration preparations, the Burning Army's advance has entered another high-speed period. On the second day's trek, Eskar returned with about 1,000 magic stone dwarves. When she left five days ago, Eskar had only taken a few retinues, 10 Fire Guard Manipulators, and 20 wolf warriors to the Dungeon of the Magic Stone Clan, which had a population of more than 8,000. Then he successfully lobbied back more than 1,000 people. Yes, the Magic Stone Dwarves became the most populous part of the Burning Army in one fell swoop, and also made the Dwarves the most dominant part of the Burning Army.

"Master, I also have the ability to bring a tribe of a thousand people over." The development of the dwarves made the orc Zakan look very hot, and coupled with the deep orc Kurun's prodding, he came to Luo Ling to express his position.

Luo Ling smiled slightly, "Then tell me, what are the specialties of the orcs you brought?" Good for coolies? Good for fighting? Suitable for manufacturing? Suitable for planting? None of them are good at it, and the speed of mastering knowledge is slow, what is the use of me coming? ”

"Master, with the stability of the tribe and the lack of food, the orcs can give birth to highly intelligent silver orcs and strong and strong golden orcs, they can be trained to be the bravest and most loyal guards, as well as shamans who know how to communicate with elemental powers, shamans can help you manage elemental equipment, they are much stronger than those dwarves who can only play with dirt, and guards, properly trained, they can output a large number of battle masters like the famous fireblade tribe. Our orcs are very capable of hey, and at the age of fourteen they are adults......"

"The last one is not an advantage, the Qin people who are about to join, their young children are planted with reproductive spores, and they can reach adulthood at the age of 4."

Zakan was speechless.

Luo Ling said again: "Together with the deep orcs, you are now in charge of nearly 500 orcs, and the results are not said, go and make something practical, then you are qualified to talk about batch expansion, go down." ”

Sent away Zakan, Ebiro and Tau came, and Zakan meant much the same thing. The Burning Army does not have to worry about eating and drinking, has advanced technology, and is covered by a strong man like Luo Ling, with such good conditions, isn't it a commotion for important people? The two of them also wanted to gather more of their own clans and form a strong cohesion, so that they could occupy a place in front of Luo Ling.

Luo Ling is still the same set of rhetoric, if you want to expand, no problem, first reflect the value, the burning army is not short of coolies, and now is far from the period of expansion.

As a result, the front foot still felt that there were already a lot of migratory troops, and the back foot arrived at the land of the Qin people on the third day, but found that the Qin people were no longer more than 400 original, but more than 2,300 people who had expanded five times.

"What's going on?" There were 53 faction elders alone who were 4 meters tall, and Luo Ling looked at the black line in his head.

After careful questioning, it turned out that in the past few days, the fungus Sheng had found all the other four Qin tribes in the vicinity that he knew. The root is still on the starlight crystal, with the starlight crystal, whether it is the mushroom cultivation of the mushroom garden, all the Qin people have benefited greatly, and there are no youth, old people, and laborers. As soon as he became an adult, he was the strength of the guard, and then the rank of the quasi-faction elders, and then the king of the Qin people, and his strength was more than a level in an all-round way, and the small mushroom garden in this place alone was enough to bear the food needs of 5,000 Qin people, and the development and growth of the race was no longer a dream, so it was naturally more attractive.

In addition, the residence of the other four Qin people, not to mention the serious corrosion, the safety factor is far worse than here, if Luo Ling does not appear, and the fungus clan can't afford so much Qin people's food and drink, the other four branches are afraid that they will perish in a few years, so their dependence on Luo Ling is far more urgent than that of the fungus clan.

At this time, I had to stop the pace of migration again, because there were not enough armored boats, and without armored boats, it was impossible to walk fast at all just on foot.

Qin people's big size, Luo Ling is more melancholy, in his opinion, the size of the guards around 180 is just right.

"Those offspring can be adjusted by means of soul integrity, plant shaping, etc., but what about these in front of us? A bunch of people are big but incompetent, like hollow turnips...... "Thinking about it, Luo Ling thought of the 'endoplasmic condensation', a spell that was originally used for elemental energy compression.

So when the slaves rushed to build armored boats, and at the same time used the mushroom garden of the Qin people to plant more spare food, they found the elders of the Qin people faction and began to conduct magic experiments.

The Qin people have a sense of touch, but the degree of pain is very low, and as a result, in Luo Ling's experiment, they were tortured and howled, and on the third day after the five or six Qin people faction elders were tortured in an inhuman form, they had to rely on the Qin people's recovery technique to barely support and cooperate with the experiment, and the technique that Luo Ling called the three-dimensional condensation technique was finally born. It is not a metamorphosis technique, but a technique that achieves the purpose by squeezing the space in the body, expelling excess water, and reducing unnecessary tissues.

Qin Ren, who was above the faction elder, was successfully slimmed down by this spell of chopping and slashing, pressing and squeezing, and became a standard 180, guard form. However, they are obviously heavier than the guards, the difference is as huge as balsa wood and sunken wood, and the skin is no longer as tough as ordinary Qin people, but hard as iron, unusually dense. To the delight of the Qin people, they found that they were much sharper and dexterous, as if they had worn off their calluses and revealed tender meat. Being able to perceive the world more keenly is a great wish of the Qin people, so through the magic array, they have used this spell and solidified it permanently, so that the guards have become slender people similar to dwarves, and those ordinary adults are only the size of dwarves.

The advantage of this event is that on the same day, the production of armored boats ended, and 144 armored boats were enough for migration.

So far, Luo Ling has been in this world for nearly 130 days, and he has become more and more aware of the urgency of time. Therefore, he ordered the team to hit the road immediately, and as they marched, they ran in and perfected their daily necessities. Like some utensils, they are made as they go, and when they find a section of ore vein, the technicians tend to rush up to the laborers, pouting them to keep up with the team, and then follow the team by armored boat, and when the team camps, set up a temporary smelting pool, set up tools, and produce and process on the spot.

In the past few days of traveling in the Dark Layer, there have been very few captures of thick slaves, and most of the dark creatures have chosen to retreat when they see such a large migration procession. There are also those who want to pull out their teeth and leave with a piece of meat in their mouths, but they are all killed without exception. In this process, the performance of Fire Guard is extremely outstanding.

The fire dwarves' control over the fire guards has matured day by day, and because the IQ of the small fire elemental has grown rapidly after being alienated into the strength of the fire elemental elders, although they are still crazy, there is a little more clarity in the madness. They realized that if they were obedient, they would be able to come out from time to time to let out the wind, otherwise they would have to hold back in the MC, which made them choose to conditionally obey the orders of the fire dwarves.

The five Qin Ren Kings such as the fungus were always by Luo Ling's side, and they wanted to provide Luo Ling with the location of the Pure Land, and this Pure Land also had to meet the needs of Luo Ling's big route to the river on the other side, there was no doubt that it was quite difficult. Putting aside the distance and the dangers along the way, there was more than one Pure Land that the Qin Ren Kings could perceive, and they had to peel off the cocoon to confirm the one that met Luo Ling's needs.

As the general direction continues to go deeper, the passages and caves become more and more desolate, and the appearance of large areas where there is nothing but rocks, sometimes after a whole day's travel, the view is monotonous, even if it is a straight passage, it makes people feel familiar in many places, as if they are circling in a labyrinth.

The monsters that can be encountered are becoming rarer and rarer, but the resistance of the environment is becoming greater and greater. With the exception of the Fire Dwarves, Tan, and Deep Orcs, the air here has become stale to the point where ordinary people will become weak and dizzy, their heads suffocated, and even full of illusions after a few minutes. Respirators have become a necessity, and the membrane device will also be used from time to time, and many toadstools are extremely viscous, although the armored ark can open the magic shield, but it can only cover itself, and many times, the migrants need to come down to walk for a while, or work, so almost every day before camping, they have to build n more purification rooms, and then pass through one by one. In addition, when he rested, he also rested in a large magic shield with respiratory bacteria, which reminded Luo Ling of the dissociation of the earth world and the light curtain tent.

The hardships of the march are much more than that. Increasingly, migratory teams need elemental energy drills to forge their way forward.

Most of the energy crystals collected by the original Abyssal Lung were prepared for this drilling machine. The six elements are gathered, and after they are activated, the efficiency is absolutely amazing, and there is no need to worry about the excess dregs, they have been 'digested' by the energy drill at the same time as they are excavated.

In this way, he walked and walked for sixteen days, during which he borrowed four vaults, and had great friction with one of them, and destroyed a dungeon of less than three hundred mind snatchers and more than two thousand slaves of all colors, and finally came to the convenient passage that Gregory had been talking about for days.

It's an underground canyon. Unlike above-ground canyons, underground, canyons are downward and vertical. However, the difference in front of me was detected as a channel with a 50-degree angle and a concave arc in the middle.

"Did you figure it out?" Luo Ling stood at the edge of the canyon, feeling the hot wind that rushed upwards and carried the smell of sulfur, and asked Gregory next to him.

"Great host, please wait. The data will be calculated in no time. ”

The data did come out very quickly, and the detection showed that it was a long, long slide, more than 70 kilometers long.

"Damn!" Luo Ling cursed in his heart.

70 km is not the main problem, because there is an armored boat and a tractor, and the tractor is like the front of a train, it hangs backwards in the tail of the car, and then with force, it can keep the armored boat at a certain constant speed and go straight to the bottom. Moreover, the corresponding force field characteristics of the levitation can ignore the uneven canyon ground.

The main problem is that at the end of the 70 kilometers, there is a lava lake with a shore on the opposite side of the lake, but in order to rush through, you have to accelerate in a sprint on the 70 kilometers of the slide to rush through. But this is only a theory, whether it is a rush or a rush into the magma, it is really not clear, and the situation on the other side of the lake is not clear, but the heat is certain. This kind of heat is no longer something that ordinary creatures can bear, except for the fire dwarves, all of them must be protected against the heat, otherwise they will all be roasted to death.
